The Accuracy valuation over Crit is very much a Vanilla/Classic World of Warcraft meta - and *for THAT game* it turned out to be very true. In Vanilla WoW anyway you always prioritize hit rating over everything else until you reach the 9% cap.
I don't know if it really works for BG3/5E as a meta since your hitting against a much smaller sample of more variable opponents with wildly different AC. in WoW bosses all had the same defense values and you are talking thousands of hits over the course of a fight.
